I have a friend from India who wants to come to United States for visit and then move here eventually

B-2 visas are given in the discretion of American consular officers. Your friend can try again after an appreciable period of time (approximately 6 months), bring all of his documentation, and hopefully he will meet up with a more friendly consular officer. If you wish, you can also give your friend an invitation letter with a statement as to you and your friend's planned itinerary, guaranteeing his expenses, and that he will return to India once the period of his stay is finished.
